Google Maps Analytics

Note: The Google Maps Platform Premium Plan is no longer available for sign up or new customers.

Overview

With Google Maps Analytics, you can learn how
users are interacting with your maps so you can improve your application. Analytics reports
provide real usage statistics that you can use to answer questions such as:

What zoom level and map type are most common?

For which countries are users requesting geocoding results?

How often are the Maps JavaScript API services used?

Analytics reporting is available for the Maps JavaScript API and
related client-side services.

You can enable Analytics without any changes to your code. All
data is aggregated and anonymized to protect users'
privacy.

Access Analytics

Visit the Google Cloud Support Portal
and select Maps: Analytics from the Resources list. If you have multiple
client IDs associated with your account, you'll be asked to select the client
ID and channel you want to use each time you access Analytics.

Enable Analytics for your client ID

You'll need to enable Analytics for each client ID. You'll be asked to confirm that you
want to enable Analytics the first time you try to access the reports for each client ID.
Once you enable Analytics, it can take up to 5 minutes for Analytics to start recording data.

It's not necessary to modify your existing code, unless you intend to
use the channel feature and do not currently specify a channel when
loading the JavaScript library.
